Poetry: As beautiful as they come

by Jacqueline Bartelmo

an Ode to Beauty::




Dear Faithful, passionate, mended heart,

where for in which we Begin-




A tragedy not spoken by my still beating?

A travesty unseen by the Unseeing?




A care unworn by time Untold,

for in Ages long past,

in a Time where we'd never grow old.




An endless summer to idle reverie

ever unbroken our sun basked fantasy,

of a time where never we ended this Dream.




The spring's breezed kiss a lasted memory,

and our Autumn's first Mist the only remedy,

to the Burning, yearning, Passionate Heart;

the thirst a flaming embattlement awaiting the Start;

a call from the Walls and a carry to Arms

all in the notes of an Ode to Beauty.
